[Nook Color General] bilbravo:
We have had our NookColor since November and haven't had any issues with it.

My experience with Android is rooting and playing around with multiple ROMs on my Moto Droid.

I recently decided to try one of the uSD ROMs on the NookColor. I first tried Nookie Froyo but I found that it was very very unstable. I thought that was odd, since there are so many people using it (albeit maybe not the uSD version) and just pressed on. I flashed gapps and the Google Services Framework process kept crashing on me. Then I reset the uSD card and tried to install some non-market apks that I had on my Moto Droid. I got android comic viewer installed and then I finally got the market to work, but the thing kept losing permission for softkeys and nothing I did (manual permissions reset with adb, the "clear data" method in settings, etc) worked.

Then I decided to try the CM7 uSD version and the first time it booted up I got several FCs to the point that I had to hard-reset the device (i.e. hold the power button until it turned off). The second boot was much better, but I noticed the wifi would not connect to my home router. I did not have this problem with Nookie Froyo, nor did I have the problem with stock NC firmware. The other problem I had was that I could not install non-market apps because the "Allow unknown sources" will not stay checked.

Any one have any idea why I'm having so much trouble? I don't think there is anything wrong with the NC since the stock system is running perfectly.
[Nook Color General] bilbravo:
Ok so I retried CM7 from this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=989637

The install went smooth, rebooted and the Cm7 splash screen (the looping arrow around the Android) stuck forever. I reset and tried again and it booted up. Everything seemed fine so I added my wifi hotspot. It won't connect and it just constantly tries to get an IP, disconnects, scans, rinse, repeat.

If I turn the wifi off then back on it says "Error!" and won't turn the wifi radio back on. I suspect this could be the kernel CM7 uses versus the Nookie Froyor 2.2 kernel which didn't seem to have any problems.

My question is: why do I search the forums and not really see all of these FC complaints? I have seen a few people complain about wifi cycling, but not many. Any ideas?
[Nook Color General] pceasar:
If you have a dlink router you have to set adhoc wifi to zero i think. Check the first cm7 sd card thread that was posted its in there somewhere

edit: also i get lots of force closes from both hc, froyo and cm7 once it starts i have to reboot usually it goes away till the next time it acts up. Tried 3 different brands and class sd cards. Hope i won't have that on gtab
[Nook Color General] bilbravo:
Thanks for the tip. I have a Linksys running dd-wrt. I don't have any problems with stock, nor did I with Nookie Froyo, but I suppose the kernel/driver in CM7 could be working against me.

I'll look for that thread. Do you recall if there is any problem using WPA2? That's what I currently use.
[Nook Color General] pceasar:
Yes i was having issues and was wpa2 which nightly you running mine went away on 1 nightly or so ago

I'm with bell and for some reason the download gets queued whenever I try to download anything over 4g. Is there an option somewhere that I can change?
[Atrix 4G General] Pirateghost:
you get 4G?!?!?!

:D
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
I know right, I guess I need to move to Canada
[Atrix 4G General] smurfit:
haha, not sure what to call it. I mean't over 3g?

Anyways, is this normal or what?
[Atrix 4G General] live4nyy:
No, that seems like an issue that needs to be brought up with your carrier.
[Atrix 4G General] smurfit:
Is anyone else from bell having the same issue?
[Atrix 4G General] spuzzum:
I was having that problem until i installed the new opera mini browser and uninstalled it. Don't know if it was pausing before but since i removed opera the stock browser and market are working properly. Also cleared cache and data under settings applications.
[Atrix 4G General] smurfit:
Gave that a try, still no luck. GRRR:mad:
[Atrix 4G General] prking07:
Since this has moto blur, try going to settings and data management i think it is or something like that, and turn off data saving feature. It should be somewhere in there.
[Dell Streak 7] prudviraj:
Gurus,

I have a Streak 5 and am wondering if streak 7 is good with respect to resolution 480 x 800 like 5? I have seen a couple of reviews where screen size and low resolution of the streak 7 makes some pics and text look pixelized. So owners of streak please advice.. Would it help me if i changed the dpi to a lower number and get more screen landscape? or not..

Would resolution matter soo much if you chage the dpi? Please advice.. and help greatly appreciated..

If it is good.. i want to jump on it for the dual core and looks..
[Dell Streak 7] chamberc:
I think the screen is great given the price and feature set... the Streak 7 is a real diamond in the rough...
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
I really like the streak 7. It's my first tablet and I have read a lot of people complain about the resolution. For me, for that size screen it's fine. I dont see it pixelate or anything like that. I also play Dungeon Defenders but its one made for the tegra 2. I also have it on my mytouch 4g and the difference is crazy! on the streak 7 it's console quality! The only complaint I really have with it is the battery life. people complain about the res but come on it's a 7 inch screen. I think on a 10 inch screen or bigger the resolution would be more noticeable but on a 7 inch screen it's just fine.. people just like bashing it.. because well.. it's dell.. lol
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
+1 I dont think it gets the credit it deserves because of the dell bias.. I think if some other company released the same thing it wouldnt have gotten such horrible reviews.. I read engadgets review but then I started reading other engadget dell reviews... they always have something bad to say about whatever they are reviewing..
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
plus once this baby gets honeycomhb then we will see the real power of the streak
[Dell Streak 7] nrfitchett4:
Turning a sidekick line into a ds7. Was worried about screen resolution, but everyone here isn't worried so I'm gonna take the plunge. Best tablet for the price considering the tegra 2 processor

[Dell Streak 7] prudviraj:
negotiating one on CL for 325.. open box but never used... Good price?
[Dell Streak 7] Hellzya:
Very good deal
[Dell Streak 7] Mysticales:
After you flash the new upgrade with the tweaks included, you are HIGHER then any other device on the quadrant scores. I reached 2200 last night. Which OEM defaults only gave about 1500. So yes, Monster madness, Crazy Snowboard, Dungeon Defenders, all play like a PC quality game. Its very nice.
[Dell Streak 7] ledfreak3d:
yea its great
[Dell Streak 7] prudviraj:
Thank you all for your awesome replies.. well i brought one for 325.. now i realized i cant make a phone call .. at least speaker phone call... Is anyone on XDA Gurus working on that one? would it work?
[Dell Streak 7] graffixnyc:
I make and receive phone calls just fine using Google voice and sipdroid. It works with the speaker/Mic or ear phones/mic
[Dell Streak 7] prudviraj:
well actually i wanna use it in India where 3G is still initial stages and price sucks.. moreover google phone and sipdroid wouldnt work here.. :)
[Dell Streak 7] supergear:
I would have said get the Galaxy Tab as it has a better screen and a longer battery life. Also more support here and also can be made to make phone calls. While the streak 7 has very good specs its screen resolution hurts it and makes it look dull next to the Galaxy Tab.
[Dell Streak 7] purelywasted:
I think your experience will depend on what you are looking for. I don't really notice a difference in graphics, as I am not trying to watch HD movies (lower res movies are ok on a 7" scree) or edit photos. I am happy with the streaming content I have seen so far, global-tv in canada and youtube.

The only drawback I see on this device is the battery life, which has been much improved since the update and that you can't charge it via your PC. Otherwise this has been exactly what I was looking for. On a bang for you buck, this seems to be the best on the market for its price, given the 4G, SD card, "future" upgrade to 3.0 and overall quality.

A very happy streak user.
[Dell Streak 7] nrfitchett4:
tab doesn't have the tegra2, means less games, no netflix going forward....

Why would I buy a tab for 200 when I can get the ds7 for the same price?

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberGhos:
I've been told that LTE is GSM tech and requires SIM card. HTC is LTE capable device. Can anyone tell me if the Thunderbolt does actually have a SIM slot? or I just have bogus information from people. Thanks.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJnc284:
yes the Thunderbolt requires a sim card
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quattr0:
Yes
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nillabob:
It sure does.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberGhos:
Can we swap the SIM card between phones without activation? If yes, I will be VZ customer soon.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddarvish:
as long as the other device is an LTE device and is certified to work on the VZW network then yes
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberGhos:
Sweetttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt. Thanks
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruddymart:
Isn't it LTE just for data, what about voice?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruddymart:
What difference does it make, it is not like they charge $35 everytime you activate new device.

My understanding is that LTE is just for data and will be that way for years and for the voice you'll still need to activate the phone (cdma radio).
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheloniousOne:
would swapping the sim work for traveling outside of the country? for use on vacation is why i'm inquiring.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PJnc284:
don't think so as it doesn't actually have the GSM radio needed to support it. You can roam in one of the few countries that offer CDMA though.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ruddymart:
Nope. I think you are confusing LTE with GSM. My solution for calling the states when abroad is WIFI calling with Google voice and Sipdroid. If you need to use the phone as a GSM you'll need a GSM capable phone. Verizon does have few global/world phones with gsm radios but not very good choices except maybe the coming-soon DINC2 but it wont be 4g I think.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stoli412:
The SIM is only for the LTE radio. It only supports data, not voice. And it only supports the 700 mHz band. As far as I know, the US is the only country using that band. And it's most likely locked to Verizon. So, lots of obstacles to using it overseas. :(
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] magneticzero:
The sim stores all your information on it...3g 4g 1x..without the sim you can only makr emergency calls. So the sim stored more than just the 4g information for your phone to work.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willzzz88:
Yep VZW is using a CSIM application by storing all your CDMA credentials also on the SIM card. Think of GSM but the 1X voice protocol is CDMA.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Conan Kudo:
In other words, probably if you go to a country that has a CDMA network that supports RUIM cards (SIM cards for CDMA), you should be able to pop it in and use it like any GSM customer can with their phones on any GSM network.

As far as I know, only India, Japan, and China have the RUIM support implemented.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shaddix2:
When the bionic comes out you can just switch your sim card to it and go.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyberGhos:
Oh, too bad. I am a phoneholic and change phone very often (sometimes once a month).
[Nook Color General] wpscully:
I have poked around and I know that the Bluetooth range seems extremely limited (perhaps 1ft) once BT is enabled in CyanogenMod. Has a root-cause for this short range been determined? For example, I'd happily solder a wire onto the motherboard if that's a known solution for the poor range.

I seem to recall that Bluetooth can vary the transmitter's power output, to preserver battery life. Perhaps the driver has a setting to "max" the transmission strength.

PS: I have to say, I'd never have kept my NookColor (that is, back to Best Buy) without these excellent kernel options. Everyone's work is much appreciated. Thanks!
[Nook Color General] animatechnica:
well my experience has been (with both BT gps and headset) more than 1 feet - in the case of my headset - up to 4 feet before it cuts out. with the gps 2 feet

now the one issue i have is if i disconnect a peripheral, it is difficult to reconnect the peripheral often have to reboot the nook to reconnect with the peripheral
[Nook Color General] chisleu:
It's not been figured out, but I read in a breakdown thread that the chip was hooked up correctly and it wasn't a hardware problem.
[Nook Color General] JLCollier2005:
From what I know, it's because the Wifi and bluetooth are on the same chip and share a single antenna. Most of the time, they have two antennas (this is not first hand info, I read this somewhere over on the CM7 forums)

As for bluetooth range, it sure seems its dependent on the item. For example, some keyboards have been REPORTED to work 10+ feet away, while most headsets seem to range in the 2-3 foot range.
[Nook Color General] ndinfla:
Headset question

I have a question about headphones. I can get mine paired but not connected. They show up correct in the listed devices but i cannot get them to work with pandora. Music streams from the speaker. Any hints or suggestions on how to rectify.

Thanks to all on this forum.
[Nook Color General] lschroeder:
I have cyfi, DR-BT21G, Motorola Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard, and Motorola S305 paired.

All but the keyboard are listed as headphones. the cyfi is a wireless sports speaker. The cyfi comes with an attachment that allows it to securely attached to your bike. I got it from woot. The item was originally $150 got on close out from woot for $40.

The keyboard I tried at horizon and have it on order from walmart. I am using a white 3 3/4" plate/photo holder from JoAnn's fabric as my stand. I don't remember the keyboad's range will edit when it comes in.

The cyfi, sony DR-BT21G, and Motorola 305 range is 13" or less with good results found when about 2" or less from the nook color. Thus the only useable devices are the cyfi and keyboard.

Using the cyfi with flash video from cm7 flash 10.2, two interesting things happen. First with bluetooth from the cyfi the flash video plays at full hardware speeds. Second if we have a slower connection the download/buffering indicator occurs more frequently when using the bluetooth cyfi for audio. Turn bluetooth off the flash video loads/buffers normally. Reconnect the bluetooth and it load/buffers again.
[Nook Color General] chisleu:
That is interesting indeed. Maybe the wifi has something to do with my keyboard being disconnected constantly...
[Vibrant General] uhsarp:
So Unlimited not equal to Unlimited!

I just got a message from simple mobile saying that my data will be suspended for the rest of the billing period. I called them and they said there are no caps but I used a lot of data in small amounts of time stressing their networks!? I told them I didn't do any streaming/tethering, I just need to work with huge email attachments. They said that they don't care. I asked them how to make sure that this doesn't happen and they said that they don't know.

Anyone else suffering the wrath of simple mobile for no reason?
[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
boo

get what you pay for??

isn't simple's plan like 60 bucks for talk text and web?? can't complain too much..also, taken from their website::

important parts bolded. yeah. sucks going for the cheapest sometimes.
[Vibrant General] drewdude007:
That is why I try to use wifi whenever possible.
[Vibrant General] jphilpot:
Good thing I didn't sign up. They seem lame..one of their reps told me I could tether......bs I knew it..I bet they are more restrictive then tmo
[Vibrant General] Segnaro:
Yeah. The cap is like 1 GB.
[Vibrant General] uhsarp:
Surprisingly, I had a good 7 month history with simple mobile. I average about 3 to 5 gigs of data per month (no tethering.. just some light streaming, office use email, nav etc.) But this time I used about 3 gigs and bit the bullet.

And you know what sucks? Signing up a contract for two years and paying $79.99 plus tax with limited minutes and unlimited data. I can walk away from simple mobile now without paying a dime. Just my 2 cents.
[Vibrant General] jamesd86:
Lol I font even have a data plan..got the phone from wallyworld for 50 bucks..cancelled the line after two weeks..200 for that..i got a half price phone with no contract..yeah.
[Vibrant General] wasscomedy:
T-Mobile caps you off at 5Gs a month... After 5Gs they slow your speed to "dial-up"... I have the unlimited data plan so I was shocked to see the restriction. Like others have said... Try to use wifi as much as possible
[Vibrant General] metro2mix:
This is bull****. I got the text today also. I called and they hung up on me 2x before someone said Corporate would get back to me. I asked them if they're saying I'm using to much of my UNLIMITED data? The rep fell silent and hung up. Wtf??
[Vibrant General] RichieDaze:
Stupid A$$ Loop Holes!!!

I also was capped! I have always used at least 3Gigs a month.

Simple Mobile piggy backs T-Mobiles lines.

T-Mobile Still offers Unlimited but, you get capped if you go over their 5Gigs.

But T-Mobile now has 59.99 unlimited plans and they lowered their 4G limit to 2Gigs.

They still keep true to their word, but they CAP YOU INSTEAD!!!

Simple Mobile has to follow T-Mobile standards.

Source: http://goo.gl/kDhtF
[Vibrant General] vincent1190:
so you can actually just buy the subsidized phone and cancel the contract? what if you try to get service form them again later on? do they black ball you?
[Vibrant General] RichieDaze:
You get what you pay for!

After research on this matter after being capped (More Here!), my data speeds have been restored to normal after REUP.

Conclusion:

Service was Capped (restricted up/download speeds) after 2 gigabytes of data services use.

T-Mobile now has the same 60$ unlimited plans available!

T-Mobile will suffer the same cap! Be aware!

Source: http://goo.gl/kDhtF

In my opinion:

Either T-Mobile is joining the other carriers with their Capped data services or they are getting ready to merge with AT&T!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justlaxin13:
have a Captivate that I recently flashed Di11i's 7.1.1 to, before that I had flashed my first ROM which was Serendipity 6.2. Both times I have found that I don't get incoming calls. People calling me get 2-3 rings, and then a traditional "busy signal" sound. On my end, either the phone vibrates once but the screen doesnt change from whatever screen I'm on. Or, The screen goes black like its going to the incoming call screen, but the black screens only flashes and goes away, as does a force close message box that goes away quickly without me clicking it.

Everything else on my phone works as far as I can tell, I've been running my current ROM for about 5 days without issues other than this one. This same exact problem also happened when I flashed Serendipity 6.2 (which I only kept for like a day because of this problem)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
Try flashing to stock then master clear. Try flashing new rom after that.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Swiftks:
I have a stupid and probably easy question. Is there any way to arrange to the apps, in the folders I created, alphabetically? Call it my obsessive compulsiveness, but I hate my apps being all jumbled up randomly due to me taking them out, putting them back in, etc. Thanks for you help and suggestions.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FLAC Vest:
Yea I always wanted tto do that too but I'm not sure; check tthe all store and see if you can find an app that will do that.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] live4nyy:
Just choose the apps you want out of the app drawer one by one by long pressing it onto the homescreen that way they are in alphabetical order. Of course, that probably wouldn't help down the road when you want to add another app to the folder but that's the best solution I can come up with
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vangelis13:
Fairly sure "Folder Organiser" does that.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ducylowycz:
Ok, this may sound a little stupid but please bear with me....

I'm a student, so I have a ".edu" email address which allowed me to sign up for a free dev account.

Although I'm on a Mac I'm downloading parallels desktop so I can get zune software.

From what I understood from reading these forums...I can use the dev tools and unlock my device with Zune?

Is this essentially the same as using Chevron unlocker?

I can't use Chevron Unlocker because I have a HTC Arrive that has the NoDo update already applied...but if I use the above methods, it would be the same...no?
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] loomx:
Yes, as far as I am aware.

I am also a student in the uk with an .ac.uk email

I have signed up and my account is started being activated today, will let you know! I am on NoDo too
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] rmcgraw:
I also have a .edu account, so this means I can sign up as a developer and get the official unlock code? Would I actually have to do any developing for them to keep my account open?

I don't have NoDo yet but will want to unlock it once it's available (AT&T branded Focus).
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ducylowycz:
This would be interesting because it say's I can have up to 3 registered devices under my Dev Account.

I personally just created it so I could unlock my NoDo Arrive, but I might actually try at creating some apps...I wonder if it's really that hard
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] loomx:
its a little more complicated than what it first seems, but nothing too hard.

Sign up through dreamspark, that gets you your account.

To dev unlock the phone you use the windows phone tools that you get through dreamspark, but it wont let you unlock it untill you have activated your developer account through geotrust

To do this on a student account you have to submit and application to microsoft first. I just created a basic dice roller, there are guides on the internet for how to make this app, it only took me two hours to do using the guide, and 1 day after submitting the app to microsoft I got an email from geotrust asking me to validate my account.

To validate you need to fill in the form with a photocopy of your driver licence or passport and email/fax it to them, they then tell microsoft all is good, and your account is activated :)

But yeh, if your a student, then its definetly worth doing, because you will effectively be "jailbroken" but in a completely legit microsoft are happy way.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] hounsell:
The major problem with an actual developer unlock, is there is a limit on the number of applications you can side-load at the same time - 3 for student accounts, 10 for individual/corporate accounts, if I remember correctly. Makes it difficult to use them for homebrew - I know I had more than 10 homebrew applications together.
[Windows Phone 7 Development and Hacking] ducylowycz:
So if we have a student developer account we have to create an app first? Exactly what guide did you use?

I have "ZERO" coding experience, even though I do dabble in web development...is it hard to do? I'm not asking someone to hold my hand, just point me in the general direction.
